Figure 4. Relevant Parameters for WSS Deviation.

Figure 4

Correlation analyses were performed between aortic diameter and WSS-SD8P at the level of mid-ascending aorta in BAV-CTL, BAV-AI, and BAV-AS patients. Positive correlation was found between peak aortic valve velocity and WSS-SD8P at mid-ascending aorta in BAV-AS patients. WSS-SD8P indicated standard deviation of circumferential wall shear stress across 8 anatomic positions.
